The host details page has links on it to attributes such as domain, OS, arch, etc. These links don't lead to the details of those resources, instead they perform a search for all hosts with that resource value (eg. /hosts?search=domain+%3D+megacorp.com ). Is this the desired pattern, or does it make sense to click through to that resource itself?
FWIW, katello's links click through to the resources so it will need updates on a lot of pages to avoid confusing interactions between the various pages.

I'd like to see it changed since I don't find it particularly useful to
search for similar hosts from the individual host page. The reason I'd most
likely be there is to edit the host or resources related to it. Most of the
other links we have throughout Foreman direct you to edit that resource and
I think that works nicely from the host page, too. For example, if I want
to change the classes included in the hostgroup the current host is in then
the edit page makes a lot of sense as the default place to go.

I'm not following. What are you thinking the links should take you to?

It makes much more sense when you go to Facts tab, then you can click on
facts and get usable results. But even here it works pretty well for me.
For editing, there is the edit button.

I was expecting them to bring me to what the link describes. In my example, the domain link would lead to
The host details page has links on it to attributes such as domain, OS,

instead they perform a search for all hosts with that resource value (eg.
